Digital baby pyjamas monitor temperatures, movement and even diapers

Digital pyjamas for babies will monitor temperature, heart rate and even diapers in the future.

Canadian telecom company Rogers teamed up with biomedical company Exmovere Holdings to create digital baby pyjamas called Exmobaby.

The pyjamas, which will launch this year in retail stores, will do electrocardiogram tests to measure activity in the heart, reported the Globe and Mail.

They also take the baby's temperature, sense his or her movements and send alerts to the parents tablet computer or smart phone to problems such as a wet diaper.

"The opportunity is how do we tap into future growth streams leveraging our existing network," said Mansell Nelson, of Toronto-based Rogers Communications.

"Depending on who you speak to, there's five, 10, 15 machines out there for every human on the planet. We believe this is going to be a wave of the future."

According to the Financial Post, the smart clothing may cost around $150 and about $10 per month for wireless service.

“It’s the notion of peace of mind. I know there was a debate even with my kids if they should be on their tummy or their backs and all that stuff and if the child turns over now, you get a beep on your smartphone,” Nelson said, reported the Canadian Press.

“You don’t have to wake up every few hours and go and check.”

The product has yet to be aproved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
